Overview
Programme and Project Mangers frequently report on project delivery. Umoja provides several
options for extracting information necessary for delivery reports.
1. ECC reports the user can extract necessary information and compile reports outside of the
system with required information (see job-aid on FM budget availability report FMAVCR02).
This ECC report provides real time data and is useful for ad-hoc requests. Please note that all
Programme and Project Management Enterprise Roles have access to this FM report.
2. Business Intelligence (BI) Analysis Area the BI Power User can create project reports based
on the information in the FM info cube of the analysis area, format them and make them
available to BI Standard Users. The data in BI is refreshed every 24 hours from the ECC data
source. Thus, BI reports are not suitable for ad-hoc requests, but provide better options for
large volume data analysis.
At this moment, there are two analysis areas developed for Project Systems:
Analysis Area
Purpose
3. BI Formatted Reports the standard BI user can run pre-formatted standard reports in BI.
The user can run those reports, save them in PDF format and print them. When the user runs
the report, the system generates the report from the latest available data set loaded in to
SAP/Umoja Business Warehouse (BW) from the Umoja transactional system. Data refresh in BI
every 24 hours from ECC data source. Formatted reports will display a time stamp indicating
the date and the time when the BI data refreshed.
This job-aid will focus on the Project Budget Balance Report Analysis Area. Please note that at
this time, there are no formatted Project System BI reports. Since UN entities report differently
on project delivery, the Project Budget Balance Report Analysis Area will give BI Power Users
the opportunity to set up project budget reports specific to the reporting requirements.

Objectives
This job aid explains how the Project Budget Balance Report Analysis Area was set up and aims
to provide guidance on specific reporting parameters.
The target audience for the Project Budget Balance Report Analysis Area is:

This job-aid focuses on understanding the report selection criteria, setting up filters and making
recommendations regarding the layout of the Project Budget Balance report in BI.

If the prompt is marked with a red X, it means that this prompt is mandatory. Once values have
been selected for mandatory prompts, the red X will turn into a green check mark.
There are only two mandatory prompts: 1) AVC Ledger, and 2) Budget Period. Please note that
the AVC Ledger setting is defaulted to Z1 in order to check budget availability and should not
be changed.
To run the Project Budget Balance Report for a specific project, the user should use the
following prompts:
1. AVC Ledger mandatory (defaulted)
2. Budget Period mandatory
3. Project: Project Definition ID optional

Chapter 4: FAQs
Why do I see rows where the WBS element columns shows # : Not assigned?
Please note that it is expected to see the value # : Not assigned in your WBS element column
for the consumable budget. While in most cases the top level WBS element ID matches the
Funded Program ID, the budget is always released/ transferred to the Funded Program only.
Thus, there is not WBS element ID available.
Should you also see consumed budget under # : Not assigned, the underlying postings have
been incorrectly entered with two cost objects - a WBS element AND a Cost Center. When two
cost objects are entered, the Funds Management tables are being updated with the Cost
Center/ Fund Center for both the commitment and the actual postings. Thus, you can only see
these postings roll up at the Funds Center/ Cost Center level while the WBS element shows # :
Not assigned.
